In a health club, research shows that on average, patrons spend an average of 46.2 minutes on the treadmill, with a standard deviation of 4.8 minutes. It is assumed that this is a normally distributed variable. Find the probability that randomly selected individual would spent between 30 and 40 minutes on the treadmill.
